Join Tim as we explore the ways that each of us can discover and bring to life the specific qualities in ourselves that we so long for. Because our very essence is relaxed, spacious and replete with love, compassion and wisdom, we are compelled to discover what it is that is shielding these qualities from our immediate experience. During our time together, we’ll explore various moods and patterns of mind that get in the way and learn how to use those same moods and patterns as a gateway to freedom.

Calming the Mind: Joy of Living 1 - With Tergar Instructor Antonia Sumbundu
COMMUNITY HOSTED EVENTS
April 28-June 2, 2021
Meditation enables us to transform all experiences, even difficult emotions and painful thoughts, into sources of joy. The modern world has become fascinated with the practice of meditation. With all the hype and glossy images on magazine covers, it would be easy to think that meditation is about sitting in the right posture, using a special technique, or forcing the mind to be calm or relaxed all the time. But the real power of meditation isn’t in the method. It’s in shifting our perspective.

Beyond Mindfulness: - The Essence of Meditation with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
May 1, 2021
Many of us are currently facing unprecedented challenges in our lives. Meditation can provide us with the tools necessary to recognize our innate potential and increase our well-being, regardless of circumstance. The key here is understanding what meditation actually means. Meditation goes beyond the serene or blissed-out mindfulness presented in pop-culture. It is not a zombie-like state that is free from thought and emotion, either. As elucidated by Mingyur Rinpoche, meditation is a process of discovery — a path of realizing the inherent potential that exists within each of us. During this event, you will explore the core elements of meditation, including awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Join us and discover your true potential. This program is open to everyone and is especially intended for those who wish to begin learning how to meditate.
